The following, and the picture bottom left on this blog, are from a kit I bought a couple of years ago. I thought if I managed to make these items I might take some lessons. However one of the kind ladies at the handicraft group I attend is quite an expert and she kindly puts me right when I find I am a little stuck on how to do it! I know there are classes locally but I can't find the time to attend them at the moment.
This is my wip. It wasn't easy to photograph!

oh it looks wonderful and i love the bag you made to carry your work. bobbin lace is a slow working craft but very meditative and so beautiful when completed.
I was blown away by all those pins in the first picture and THEN I saw all those bobbins!! I would never, in a million years, be able to keep them all straight and I just know I'd end up with a snarled up mess. I can handle your bag, but I think I'll stay far away from bobbin lace (other than to admire it).
Fun to see you're learning to make bobbin lace. I remember watching my ant making these when I was a kid, loved the rhythm of the bobbins! Looking forward to see the finished lace.
